In response to the comments about distro choice:
as a relative newbie (I've been one for so long perhaps I don't qualify
anymore!) I've been using Debian and have recently discovered
www.aboutdebian.com
I highly recommend that everyone (even those using other distros) check
it out. I find it to be the perfect source for info that fills the gap
between theory (as in the specialty books) and the simple how toos that
are explained in the intro.to.linux books.
The person who maintains this site deserves a lot of gratitude, I
think.
